I believe Cond on reeled him into CAA so he will handle the negotiations on behalf of CAA.

Right. Granted, I didn't read the article, but I've gathered that Jay-Z is now an agent and in the employ of CAA, no? If that were the case and Cruz wanted to have Jay-Z represent him, could he do that without needing to officially change agents because both Condon and Jay-Z are employed by the same agency?

By the way, Tom Condon happens to be the agent for Tony Romo also who just got a 108 million 6-year contract with 55 million guaranteed. Good or bad for the Giants? I mean, if this guy could get Tony Romo that much money with a single playoff win, how much can he get from the Giants for Cruz?

I think Jay-Z is the "face" of Roc Nation Sports whch is affiliated with powerhouse CAA. It has nothing to do with Cruz other than the CAA connection.

It's good news according to John Mara and Steve Tisch. Condon works well with the Giants. He's not a pawn for them, but neither is he unreasonable, unprofessional, or stupid.

Condon is also Eli's agent, so it could benefit the Giants. What it all comes down to is whether or no Cruz will be reasonable with his demands, if he accepts the Giants offer (which IMO is more than fair) he will be here for a long time. If he wants the mega bucks he will have to risk injury this year and play under his tender, then sign with a franchise like the Raiders next year
